Bright bronze with busy carbonation streams. I like the color. Soapy looking head with decently good retention, wavy lacing on the back side.

Some hop aroma, a bit bland. Grassy, almost pilsner-like. A little lemony citrus

English Pale Ale, eh? I'm not really so sure about that. I think it's just kind of a weak pale ale, and not really at all deserving of the "extra" tag. Pretty malt-forward. Has hop flavor primarily of pine, light bitterness. Grassy. Tastes a bit stale, even though that can't be the case, as this was a new spring sampler box. It hits me now that this is extremely tea-like in the aftertaste

Light body and a bit heavy on the carbonation.

Not real challenging or interesting, but there's nothing about it that makes it hard to drink. At the same time, I'm not dying to drink the other two or anything. It does wash down a meal okay.

A favorite since I arrived in the Twin Cities. A solid pale ale, more in the British style than American. Deep Amber with a 2 inch thick, creamy, off-white head that recedes slowly, leaving behind lacing down the glass. Nice aroma, hops faintly fruity, a little malt evident. Mild initial taste with a bit of bittering, mild in the middle, with a nice bitter finish. The hops add a slight fruit balance to the malts along with the bittering. Well balanced malts with hop bitterness on the initial taste, and throughout. Mouth feel is substantial for the style, with the carbonation adding a tingle to the oberall body. This is an excellent example of the traditional Pale Ale. If you are looking for the juciness or resiness of the near-IPA-pale ales (e.g. pseudoSue), you won't find that here, but this is an excellent beer for the style it is seeking. This beer is significantly underrated on this site. It is a step ahead of SNPA with more hops bittering and better flavor, and it is way ahead of Mirror Pond, which is nearly timid in its use of hops.

Nice golden color, little lacing. I love the smell of this one-I get a whiff of citrus, mostly grapefruit. The taste is very much the same, mostly grapefruity citrus. This is darn good beer, one to give to your macroswilling buds to get them turned onto craft beer.

The taste is light sweet with a pale malt backing. A slight citrus taste appears but it finishes dry with a slight bitterness. This is definitely a American style pale ale with a good balances of malt flavors and hops

I like the beer taste and smell, bit thick and strong. Just wanted to try a new beer so had it and did like it. It is good for all those who like the strong like to the beer with strong like to taste....Overall I liked it
